Hazrat was a disciple and Caliph of Hazrat Ghousi shah. Hazrat used to stay in khankha nooria bandlaguda.He was the 21st grandson of Ghousul Azam Sheikh Mohiyudheen Abdul Qadir Jilani (RH).

Hazrat noori shah is widely known as Noor ul Mashaikh. Hazrat's chain has expanded worldwide in more than 40 countries through millions of his students, many gatherings, mosques, Islamic schools, colleges, and hospitals. 

Hazrat Noori shah is a renowned Islamic scholar who lived in the 19th century and gained prominence as an outspoken critic of the orthodox Islamic clergy of his time.

He is best known for developing a distinct Sufism approach that emphasized love and service to humanity rather than rules and rituals. 

He is said to have been the first great Muslim saint-poet in the Indian Subcontinent and is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in spreading Islam in South Asia.

Hazrat is the Founder of Kerala's First Islamic Arabic College, Jamia Nooriyya Arabic College, Pattikkad in Malappuram District. He accepted the post of vice president of the Jamia Nooriya.

Hazrat was the student (mureed) of the renowned Sufi saint Moulana Peer Ghousi Shah.

Shaikh Noori Shah Jeelani received the title of Caliph (or religious successors) from his spiritual teacher Shaikh Moulana Ghousi Shah of Hyderabad, India, after years of spiritual training under his guidance.

His ʿUrs (anniversary of death) is celebrated on the 14th day of the month, Rabi us Sani.

His mausoleum, Dargah, is located in the very famous Noori Maskan of Noori Nagar in the Bandlaguda area of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
